several attitudes have been always purposed about death in human community. some people have disliked it while some others typically accepted it. however, what is noticeable is the relation of such views with subject of life. human often escapes from death and sometime he may tend to it. one of the main motives for acceptance of death is resumption of life. adoption of such principle that is de...

the methods employed today for the correction and publication of the old persian texts that come to be closely similar to the original, are greatly indebted to the attempts made by late allameh dehkhoda, allameh ghazvini, and of course dr. mohammad moin. since the method of correcting texts is in fact based on scrupulous scrutiny, thus, leaning on different sources, attempt has been made in thi...

the afsaneh by nima yushij and gharib –un-ala - khalij by badr shaker are among poetic works which show many similarities , in spite of differences which give them their identity. these similarities indicate that these two works follow the same style and internal structure. the authors of this article try to compare the stylistic features of these two works and identify their similarities and s...

NIMA is the protein product of the nimA gene of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, required for progression of cells from G2 into mitosis. The protein kinase activity of NIMA, assayed by phosphorylation of beta-casein, varies during the nuclear division cycle, reaching a maximum in late G2 and M. To investigate the biochemical properties of this cell cycle-regulated protein kinase, we...

The Never in Mitosis A (NIMA) kinase (the founding member of the Nek family of kinases) has been considered a mitotic specific kinase with nuclear restricted roles in the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans. By extending to A. nidulans the results of a synthetic lethal screen performed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the NIMA ortholog KIN3, we identified a conserved genetic interaction between ...

Great progress has recently been made in our understanding of the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle, and the central role of cyclin-dependent kinases is now clear. In Aspergillus nidulans it has been established that a second class of cell-cycle-regulated protein kinases, typified by NIMA (encoded by the nimA gene), is also required for cell cycle progression into mitosis. Indeed, both p3...

NIMA is essential for entry into mitosis in Aspergillus nidulans. To examine whether there is a NIMA-like pathway in other eukaryotic cell cycles, we expressed NIMA and its dominant negative mutants in two different eukaryotic systems. In Xenopus oocytes, NIMA induced germinal vesicle breakdown without activating Mos, CDC2, or MAP kinase. In HeLa cells, NIMA induced premature mitotic events wit...

AIM To investigate the rates of pretransplantation fetal-maternal microchimerism (MC) and its effect on rejection in children receiving maternal liver grafts. METHODS DNA or blood samples before liver transplantation (LT) were available in 45 pediatric patients and their mothers. The presence of pretransplantation MC to non-inherited maternal antigens (NIMAs) (NIMA-MC) in the peripheral blood...
